Newt Gingrich Wants Freddie Mac Records Released Before Florida Primary (Take That Willard!)
ABC News ^ | January 23, 2012 | George Stephanopoulos

Posted on 01/23/2012 8:12:37 AM PST by C19fan

In response to lobbying accusations from his opponents Newt Gingrich told me it would be "very helpful" if his former company, Center for Health Transformation, released the consulting contract he had with mortgage giant Freddie Mac before the Florida primary on January 31. "I think it would be very helpful and our attorneys are talking with the company. You know I left the company so, it's their decision and Nancy Desmond, the president of the company, has to make the decision. But I'd be very comfortable releasing them," he said.

That is begging to be re purposed with the Simpson’s “Ha - Ha!”

It sure is hard not to love Newt taking it to the Left and to the Rinos simultaneously.

Thank you Lord, for Newt, but please, help him stay on task.

Gingrich is simply the smartest guy in the room.

He is out messaging and out maneuvering the slothful Romney, who moves at the speed of a large and unfettered bureaucracy.

Gingrich is the strike behind enemy lines, deep into the heart of the RINO Progressives with a twist of lemon media.

I was still in bed yesterday when I turned on my Nook Color to check email and FR. I couldn’t believe all the zot threads waiting for me. And that was on top of all the ones during the day on Saturday. Or during the week leading up to the primary.

Someone on one of those threads likened it to the great bug zapper thread, although that was one thread, these were many. But the shear number was impressive.

Agree, And it is sad to see some who go back to 1998.

They know this site has rules, but they feel the need to make a point, I guess.

I hoped they would join in for the political fight of our lifetime.

The MittBots have been fairly smart...closeting themselves and feigning their support for whoever was the weakest conservative in order to prop up Romney.

But, Newt outmaneuvering their Romney has just been too much for them. They cannot control their hatred for conservatives now.

Clarence Thomas would be a "strike behind enemy lines". Newt, not so much. IMHO.

Newt ought to ask for 12 years worth of tax returns released. Ask Mittens if he wouldn’t want to be like daddy Romney who did the same thing in his political race for the Presidency. Then have MIttens appear to be less honest than his dad. Newt can release those years as well. Newters Romney!!!

It seems to me, FReepers who are still clinging to the ‘ideal candidate’ meme. They then rant about other FReepers “caving in”, or go overboard in attacking Newt or some other candidate.

As you put it, we’re in the fight of our lifetime. If this were just some other presidential election where the stakes weren’t so high, I’d likely be making my decisions based on idealism as well. But that’s not what we have.

Either we win this election or America goes down the tank. Two, we have a slate of four candidates from which to choose. One’s a complete flake and is closer to ‘truther’ beliefs than solid conservative values. One’s an outright liberal who’s been on both sides of virtually any important issue, and can’t be trusted with the job. A third, who has shown good social conservative values, but not as good as a fiscal conservative, isn’t inspiring, comes across petulantly, and doesn’t have anything going for him.

That leaves us with one candidate. He’s feisty, knowledgeable, willing to take on the media and the democrats, and connects with the voters. But he too has big negatives from a social conservative standpoint.

But, going back to the first point (America’s decline), it’s not hard for me to decide who I’m going to back. And I think many across the country are beginning to come to that same conclusion. For those who say ‘we can’t win with newt’ I say ‘Yes! We can!’ The public is showing we can. Let’s roll!!

He can’t be bluffing, he names nemes, ‘Nancy Desmond’ and who decides/who’s responsible, again ‘Nancy Desmond’.

All the media need do is call her and see if she got the Ok to release.
